PLEASE PRAY...

A good friend of mine has an urgent prayer need. Her brother and sister-in-law are pregnant with their first child. She was taken to the hospital yesterday and diagnosed with pre-eclampsia at 27 weeks gestation. Unfortunately the baby, a boy, will have to be delivered today as the doctors have been unable to stabilize blood pressure, etc. Please pray for them today as the Lord brings them to mind. Added to this stress is the fact that the grandfather of this baby (the father of my friend and her brother) has lung and kidney cancer and is getting treatments in Texas every other week. They have to leave for Texas in a couple days so he can get his treatment so they will have to leave soon after the baby is born and in such a fragile state.

Thank you for your prayers for this family; they are Christians.

My friend went through that last year. We just celebrated the baby's first birthday this weekend, and he was 2 pounds 10 ounces when he was born at 28 weeks. Praying for the Lord's tender hands to be there for that little one and for the family.

Thank you for the prayers. As of 1pm today they had not done the C-section because the mom had stabilized, praise God. I'll keep you updated.

Praise the Lord for his goodness. I pray that the Lord would continue to be with them.
